Batman: The Animated Series co-creator Bruce Timm returns with Caped Crusader, but how does it compare to the much-beloved DCAU show?
Batman: Caped Crusader has finally premiered on Amazon Prime Video since its reveal three years ago and a turbulent transition from Max , evoking the spirit of the much-beloved 1990s show Batman: The Animated Series . It’s a daunting standard for this new series to match, especially since Batman: The Animated Series is a gold standard for many audiences, including the late Kevin Conroy who voiced the Dark Knight.
The idea of “reinventing Batman” is far from a novel concept, especially in a genre known for toying around with multiple universes at once — for better and worse. What made The Animated Series so groundbreaking in the 1990s was how it borrowed elements from Batman’s comics since the hero’s return to his crime-noir roots in the 1970s thanks to writers like Dennis O’Neil.
Batman: Caped Crusader taps into what made its spiritual predecessor successful while ticking just enough boxes to stand on its own feet. Interesting new angles on classic villains, a subtle yet meaningful change to its setting, and an admirable new leading actor in Linklater make this animated show a worthwhile endeavor.
As subtle a difference as it sounds on paper, it’s a great twist to give Caped Crusader the best of both worlds. It’s visually similar enough to the DCAU to tastefully play with nostalgia but different enough to feel like a world all its own. This also lets the Amazon Prime Video series feel more conducive to character changes, and it continues to prove that Batman is perhaps the best superhero for period-piece stories.
